Arusha to Tarangire National Park
You'll be picked up from your hotel after breakfast and driven to Tarangire National Park, Tanzania's third-largest national park and sanctuary for an unusually large elephant population. Majestic baobab trees are an interesting feature of the park, dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them. Animals concentrate along the Tarangire River, which provides the only permanent water supply in the area. There is a great diversity of wildlife, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, and up to 6,000 elephants. The park is perfect for birdwatching, with over 300 species of birds. You'll go to the lodge, which is outside the park.
